1996-97 ASSESSMENT
The department had one student this year who successfully completed student teaching.Students were generally commended for their
content knowledge and professional ethics/practices. Recommendations for improved
classroom practices included more effort being spent on integrating technology into
classroom instruction, more collaboration with resources available on-site (such as media
specialists, colleagues) and better classroom management skills. Caveat on the latter:
every student was evaluated as MINIMALLY "meeting the standard expected of a
first-year teacher;" where improvement is needed in the professional sequence is
management and technology skills. These conclusions on this subject have been brought to
the attention of the PTE department. In every competency, students were found at least to
meet the standard expected of first year teachers. |
